Why does PushDustIn still make jokes on poor @Swampasaur 's username each time this thread's title changes ?


A reference to him being the original creator I guess ?

 

[Chrono.]

I really shouldn't be up this late but I am gonna post this before I sleep

This from the Investors Meeting
View attachment 80299

So by the looks of it Zelda Wii U might still be a Wii U exclusive.

I still see a NX port still happening though and there's no reason Paper Jam can't be released this year

Also, PushDustIn should we expect a Social Thread 3.0 soon?

Pokken Tournament is missing in the Japan section.

Wonder what's up with that.

I haven't changed the title in awhile, I think @Opossum is responsible for the new titles. When I took over the social thread, @Swampasaur asked me to include in all the titles, so that's why I've been doing it. I might start up the title theme up again soon.

I'm pretty sure Frostwraith joins in on the fun too.

This thread ****posts and memeposts regularly.

Several users complain about one meme in a video game.

Wat.

To be fair, we don't want Nintendo to come down to our level.

Going to try Genocide with the name MURDER soon. SO HYPED!

You're the first person I've seen who is hyped for a Genocide run.

you're gonna have a bad time.

Sounds like @Opossum has a little crushy-poo on the Swamp Man.

 

[Soul.]

Wait, we getting a Direct soon?

Did they talk about the new reward program yet?

They did not.

But they might later, there's a 2nd briefing later today I believe

 

[Radical Bones]

They did not.

But they might later, there's a 2nd briefing later today I believe

It's almost 7pm in Japan so I don't think there's much left.

Anyway, the Pokemon Z anime begins tomorrow. Dawn of a new era.

The 2nd briefing is tomorrow (for Japan).

Heard Game Freak acquired a mobile game studio called Koa Games. Well is that surprising.

Wait... Samus is a girl under that suit?

Wow.

Seriously though, some random AC character will never reach the heights of Samus, Lara Croft, Chell etc.

I mean, we are still at a point where a game gets praise just for having a female lead. :/

But I would guess they meant to say one of the first black female leads, because that actually is true.

EDIT: Wait, whoops, I thought they were talking about Liberation. That makes it extra funny, cause she isn't even the first female lead in the Assassins Creed franchise.

I was about to say that lol

Not to mention Ubisoft are also behind Beyond Good & Evil...

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Well, I certainly can't argue with that:

Having Akuma having his alternate costume in 4 as his default design would be sooo cool imo XD: P

I hope all returning characters from here-on out have a different design, even if it's minor stuff like Cammy's harness or Mika's costume redesign. Ryu, Chun-li and Zangief are the iconic main, female and grappler characters so it makes sense they return with no changes. Also, how could they not have Balrog return when they got all that sweet fight money?

 

[Chrono.]

I just hope unlocking characters via fight money grinding doesn't take an eternity.

It will for me no matter how well they balance it. I suck at arcade cabinet, 6 button fighters.

Let's ignore that female leads have existed since the 80's with the advent of Metroid, too. Ubisoft really has a problem with this kind of stuff, such as misuse of the word iconic. Adrian Pearce doesn't have an iconic cap.

How many bets that Jim Sterling will address this eventually?

 

[Khoru]

It's a real Japanese word, and you can hear it spoken aloud on this page.

It translates roughly to 'one and only god.'

additionally, it's a reference to some ridiculous and broken mugen character

 

[---]

News that news is coming? Well at least we have the Bi-Monthly **** Fest as a good indicator that it's probably going to be before the end of next month.

At least there will be checkpoints for Mario Maker coming. I know a couple stages of mine that could really use them, and they should make 100 Mario on Hard Mode a bit more bearable.

I feel like the ND will come around early to mid November.

It's best to to train and 'level up' all the characters iirc, it gets harder to get experience the higher the level is

 

[Senselessbreak]

the heavens have parted boys and girls
http://nintendoeverything.com/at-least-one-nintendo-direct-is-coming-this-year/

My neighbor's pet hamster works for Nintendo and he told me we will get a Nintendo Direct within the next nine weeks. Just wait and see.

 

[PushDustIn]

I feel like the ND will come around early to mid November.

I'm thinking mid-to late November as they already announced the Mario Maker update. So we know it won't come until at least the 5th.

 

[Senselessbreak]

Oh! Nintendo Direct being remodeled now too. In new format from next year, Mr. Kimishima says. https://t.co/F2qGtJct4k

— Takashi Mochizuki (@6d6f636869) October 28, 2015

Well then.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Nintendo Direct? My guesses are

• Bravely Second
• Metroid Prime Federation Force
• Mario and Luigi Paper Jam
• Wolf trailer for Smash Bros
• FE Fates

I mean, we are still at a point where a game gets praise just for having a female lead. :/

But I would guess they meant to say one of the first black female leads, because that actually is true.

Come to think of it, how many black lead characters are there in video games at this point?

Umm, Samus?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Umm, Samus?

I remember reading that Samus was actually the 2nd playable female character, but the first one was a nobody

 

[Khoru]

I remember reading that Samus was actually the 2nd playable female character, but the first one was a nobody

there were probably a few before her
bubbles from clu clu land comes to mind

 

[IceBreakerXY]

So were getting a direct sometime this year? Cool still think were more likely to see some smash news before one actually drops

 

[Curious Villager]

I remember reading that Samus was actually the 2nd playable female character, but the first one was a nobody

Bubbles? I think it was said to be a she.....

I don't know if Clu clu land came before Metroid though.....

 

[Frostwraith]

Not too surprised about the Nintendo Direct format change.

Without Iwata, they'll have to find their own way of doing things. There always comes the time when it's needed to move forward.

Regardless, it's good news that Nintendo Directs will continue. I'll be looking forward to the upcoming ones.

 

[Chrono.]

Bubbles? I think it was said to be a she.....

I don't know if Clu clu land came before Metroid though.....

It predates Metroid by two years.

 

[LIQUID12A]

When comparing Clu Clu Land to Metroid from a female lead perspective, the latter is still the more notable one because the lead was a) human and b) set off an entire trend because of how it handled the reveal.

Likely nobody cared about the blob in comparison.

 

[Spazzy_D]

I remember reading that Samus was actually the 2nd playable female character, but the first one was a nobody

Not a nobody, and she beat Samus out by 5 years.

1986-87, saw a few notable female protagonists.

We've had a few since then, too, such as:

and of course:

...just to name a few.

See, this is why Patreon exists. Youtube is unreliable as a sole source of income as it is, but now its gonna get turned up by eleven.

Ugh no, Youtube Red is going to go a long way towards helping that, youtubers are going to be making significantly more income with Youtube Red, not less (especially during **** ad revenue months like January, where a single initial month of less revenue will be more than made up for). The whole reason Youtube is implementing it in the first place is how much more money it'll bring in than sole ad revenue, as explained in these two prior posts:

Of course people are going to kneejerk to this and not think longterm. Yeah that initial month is going to suck, but the "initial month for free" thing works really well for getting people locked in, hence why every subscription service like Netflix and Amazon Prime offer free initial month trials.

And the value of a Red subscriber is going to be worth immensely more than ad revenue will be, especially down the line. Say you got 100 views from Red subscribers and 100 views from ad-viewers; the latter 100 views will only net you around 1 to 25 cents in ad revenue, maybe up to around a dollar if you're particularly lucky and it's not a ****ty ad month. With those Red subscribers though, say you average 5 cents from each of them, that's five dollars, tremendously more than what you got from the ad revenue. Even if they each only give you a penny, that dollar it adds up to is still far more than you'll get from ad revenue 99% of the time.

People need to think longterm, Youtube Red offers significantly more revenue down the line, and youtubers will be better appreciative of it when ad revenue continues to decline and especially during the ****ty ad revenue months (every January for example, has about one fourth of the typical ad revenue you would get).

Just to put this in perspective, this article suggests that a YouTuber currently gets ~$10,000 / month per million subscribers, or about 1 cent per month per subscriber. (This was just the first article I saw, but presumably it can't be that terribly far off.) By comparison, after the first month, any person with a Red account will be earning that much for any YouTube partner that comprises at least 1/550 = 0.2% of their watch time, or one minute per week for every hour watched per day (i.e. easily everyone they're subscribed to, likely a ton more for the ones with longer videos).

Sounds like an improvement to me. Ad revenue is a horrible way to have to make money for a third party.

As long as Youtube Red is a decent success, youtubers are going to be making more money, with significantly more potential, and with income that is going to be a lot more consistent (must I state again how utterly horrible January is with ad revenue?).

-

Though, one thing I am wondering about is the features it has. Less from a producer's standpoint, and more the consumer's. All I know is no ads and I believe something with the Youtube Music thing.

From the Youtube site, with the flak cut down to make it more understandable:

*No ads
*You can save videos to watch offline on your phone or tablet and play videos in the background.
*Your membership extends across devices and anywhere you sign into YouTube, including the recently launched Gaming app and their YouTube Music app.
*YouTube Red works with Google Play Music, so subscribe to one and automatically get access to the other.
*Starting early next year, YouTube Red subscribers will get member-only access to "new, original shows and movies" from some of YouTube’s biggest creators. More information on this is here

I personally would like to see a bit more to make it more valuable to consumers, especially as the "new original shows" don't interest me the least bit.
